The most part of population exposed to radiation and their offspring residing in territories bordering upon the Semipalatinsk nuclear testing area represent objects of studying aged 40 years and older because the age is the factor decreasing health indices at the expense of natural gerontological processes. In these conditions, additional radiation exposition, besides radiological biological effects, plays the role ofpotentiation of common biological and environmental risk factors. From the archives of research institute of radiation medicine and ecology the primary medical documents were retrieved containing information about established diagnoses of individuals included into elaboration of epidemiological statistical analysis of dynamics of morbidity of persons in 2008-2012. Within the same period, the acts-certificates of causes of death of specific persons included into study groups were retrieved. It is established that in 8 classes of diseases in the main group and in 5 classes of diseases in comparison group significant exceeding of average annual indices of prevalence of diseases as compared with control group was established. The common prevalence of diseases in the main group comprised 3147.5 cases, in the comparison group - 2615.6 cases and in control group - 2203.8 cases per 1000 of population (RR=1.42;1.19; p<0.05;0.05). The indices of total mortality in the main group comprised 1887.3 cases, in the comparison group - 1531.2 cases and in control group - 1155.1 cases per 100 000 of population (RR=1.58;1.36; p<0.05;0.05). Among persons in the main group in 7 classes of diseases and in the comparison group in 5 classes of diseases significant exceeding of indices of mortality was registered over same indices in control group was registered as causes of death.
